Answer:
<em>The sprinter traveled a distance of 7.5 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>
It's a type of motion in which the rate of change of the velocity of an object is constant.
The equation that rules the change of velocities is:
Where:
a = acceleration
vo = initial speed
vf = final speed
t = time
The distance traveled by the object is given by:
Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:
The sprinter travels from rest (vo=0) to vf=7.5 m/s in t=2 s. Computing the acceleration:
Now calculate the distance:
The sprinter traveled a distance of 7.5 m
